A private waterfront estate of scale and presence

Hidden from the road and nestled within beautifully established grounds, this extraordinary waterfront estate reveals itself gradually, creating an unforgettable sense of arrival. Beyond the gates lies a world of remarkable peace and privacy, where mature landscaping, all-day sunshine and an enviable sheltered position combine to create a warm, tranquil microclimate, unlike almost anywhere else on Auckland's waterfront. Thoughtfully designed so that something is always in bloom, the gardens provide year-round colour and interest while attracting abundant birdlife, including the unmistakable vocalisations of tūī echoing through the surrounding trees.

Designed on a truly impressive scale, the residence balances architectural grandeur with effortless liveability, it is both grand and welcoming. Soaring ceilings, beautifully crafted American oak detailing, spectacular living areas and a sequence of rooms designed for entertaining and family life unfold effortlessly throughout the home. Anchored by near new pale oak floors, every principal room opens to the outdoors and embraces breathtaking uninterrupted views across the Hauraki Gulf. Expansive terraces, the resort-style swimming pool and generous lawn create an effortless connection between the home and its exceptional, bush framed, coastal setting.

Here, the beach below becomes part of everyday life. Swim, paddle or simply wander the shoreline before returning to the peace and seclusion of one of the North shores most remarkable private residences. It is a setting that feels a world away yet remains just minutes from Takapuna or Devonport and a close commute to Auckland’s CBD.

Whether hosting large gatherings, accommodating extended family or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the surroundings, this is a home that delivers an extraordinary lifestyle with a sense of space and privacy seldom found so close to the city.

This is far more than a luxury residence. It is a private waterfront sanctuary - an estate of exceptional scale, craftsmanship and presence, created for those seeking a lifestyle few will ever experience in one of Auckland's truly remarkable homes.
